Scott Weiland On Velvet Revolver Split 'There Were Petty Jealousies'

[FunkyMonkey]

SCOTT WEILAND SOBERS UP . . . AGAIN

APRIL 2010 ISSUE

Q: You feuded with Axl Rose after you formed Velvet Revolver with his former Guns N' Roses bandmates. Now that you've left that group less than amicably, do you want to trade war stories with Axl?

A: We came close to getting together one time. I had wondered if he was the center of all their problems or if it was a mixed bag?and it was definitely the latter. When Velvet Revolver first got together it was great. I got to know the guys before: Met Duff at the gym, because he loves to work out and I was obsessed with running. I was in rehab with Matt. I'd only met Slash twice?he's not the most social person. We had all been through the same experiences, and it felt like a gang. But everyone was a rock star. There were petty jealousies. Then the wives got involved with the business of the band, and that was the beginning of the downfall.

Q: Matt has also launched a clothing line. Do you ever drop in to his store and check out the competition?

A: God, no. We're doing totally different things. Mine is London, his is L.A. Let's just say there's a lot of leather and jewelry.

I wonder how "close" they came to getting together lol

I think he's referring to some time when they were in a club at the same time. 2006 I believe?

I think he's talking about something else...from the way that "meeting" was described.

If you're referring to what was said about the meeting in the Chicago club from the interview with Scott in May 2007.
